Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If at the time of the execution of the will by W. J. McDonald on May 8, 1925, he was under the influence of an insane delusion or delusions affecting the disposition of his property which he was making, then you are instructed that he did not at said time have testamentary capacity. An insane delusion is the belief of the existence of a state of supposed facts which no rational person would have believed.””
